Indigenous Affairs
During question period on Indigenous Affairs, the NDP’s Leah Gazan asked about the newly tabled First Nations Clean Water Act (Bill C-37), saying its definition of “First Nation lands” covers only reserve lands and asking whether the rights the bill references apply across all traditional territories, not just reserves. Minister Mandy Gull-Masty replied that First Nations will set their own minimum water standards both on and off their lands and will work with provinces and territories to do so, adding that the government has partnered with First Nations on this work for the first time and will continue supporting it.Written by AI from the debate.
